    That’s because Europe is soo terribly slow with allowing these robo cars. They are so much better than humans. Humans suck at driving. Once when we have all the robo cars here, you will see the numbers finally going up again!

      Not really, you can watch video about it on youtube channel “not just bikes”, he makes great points about why this is bad idea and why best way to reduce fatality and car crashes is to just make better alternatives to cars such as bus network or trams (street cars) or bike lanes or anything really

    Well this is marginally better than the reporting we usually see on anything that involves numbers, in that they mention that there is an ongoing declining trend and they give just enough context that we can be pretty sure this year’s number is fully consistent with that trend. Of course they do not actually tell us the variance, they do still pretend that one year’s number is more significant than it is in reality (e.g. “second year in a row with a decline”) and we have no idea how cherry-picked that 2014 date for comparison might or might not be. But still, not bad Europe. A time series chart would’ve been a very easy way to improve it.

      If you actually cared enough to actually read the article, you would have found the link to the longer version. and also some datasets in it. But it is obvious that you just want to complain. Otherwise you would have clicked those links and actually found the data you claim to be looking for.

    Nice to see decreasing numbers, I thinks it’s because of many reasons but mainly investment in public transportation and passager trains as well as decreasing population. Article doesn’t really talk bout what cars had bigger fatality rates but If u have to guess it was probably big American cars (forgot the name)
